New member from SF Bay area

Hi,

I've been lurking around this site for about a year. I've learned from just reading comments on other's photos. But I've decided that it is time for me to start getting critiques on my own photos.

I love to travel - especially nature related travel. But only in the past few years have I started including photography in my travels. Most recently I was in Panama and saw many beautiful birds. I'll be posting a few of the ones I managed to take decent photos of. But to start with I'll share a photo of a nice bird taken in my local county park.

I'm looking forward to participating in this group.
